I absolutely love carbonara!  I always assumed it was just alfredo, peas and bacon, but it it so much better than that!  It has a egg sauce that is simply wonderful.

I decided to put together a cupcake wrapper so that you can have Halloween themed cupcakes even if you don't want to take the time to decorate the cupcakes

I am playing with candy melts again and this time, Oreos are involved!  These seemingly normal cupcakes are topped with awesome oreos covered in candy coating!  They look a little messy, but they taste awesome!  I think they are a pretty nice Halloween Treat.  Both tasty and fun to look at

I wanted to make some fun cupcakes for Halloween, so I thought up these little guys!  Though I still get frustrated with candy melts, it was fun creating the skeletons and decorating the cupcakes with them!

The Graveyard

I wanted to experiment with the cake pop idea and I thought I would try peanut butter cookies.  I wasn't sure if that would taste good mixed with frosting so I needed a different ingredient to get the cookie crumbs make balls.  I remembered that I really liked to have peanut butter and honey on toast so I decided to try honey.  It was an amazing idea!  

You take a bite of these pops and you get that instant chocolate, peanut butter goodness, but then, you get that delayed honey sweetness and you just can't help but smile!

So I wanted to make a necklace with paperclips, but I didn't want it to be obviously paperclips.  I think it worked out pretty well.

You can find the full directions here: http://www.instructables.com/id/Simple-Paperclip-Necklace/.

For now, here is what you need:

• Paperclips, the normal small kinds, #1 sized
• Big beads that are 6mm
• Small beads that are 3mm
• Needle nose pliers
• Round nose pliers
• Wire Cutter (I used a tin cutter because that's what my husband had)
